The thing about burritos is that they can be secretly hiding an inner core of refried beans that is many time hotter than the surface temperature of the outer tortilla shell. You won’t discover this until it is too late and your mouth has been melted shut.

I understand that happens mainly with those frozen Microwaved burritos. I have never ever had one of those in my life, and thus, never experienced the burny refry bean burritoness. I do tend to make my own carne asada burritos, sans beans, so additionally no molten beanness.

It looks like Biff accidentally ignited the core of the delicate and dangerous but delicious Plasma Burrito. You have to get it to the right temperature so it coalesces, but not so hot that it ignites.

I don’t have this problem with food. No, I exhibit it strictly with hot drinks. Every time, I incorrectly assume the cup is the same temperature of the liquid inside. Every time, the scalding my mouth endures proves me wrong. One would imagine I’d’ve learned by now…

I lived off pizza pockets and microwavable burritos for a while when I lived in residence at university (we weren’t allowed hotplates or even electric kettles in our rooms, but there was a microwave in the communal lounge area). Cafeteria hours were pretty limited, and totally not compatible with my schedule, so microwaving was the only option I had for getting hot food. I think I went a good three months without taste buds due to constantly burning them off on hot filling.

The rules of safe burrito handling
Every burrito is always loaded
never point a burrito at anything you are not willing to destroy
keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to bite and never squeeze.
